Here's what we have done. When we first came into office and we stated that we were not going to allow people to sleep on our street, we did just that. I don't want to hear all that noise. People are not sleeping on our streets. And we were able to move our city from encampments on the sidewalks, on the highways, in our train stations. You don't see that anymore in this city.
And because of that success, you now have those that are suing us, but we're still carrying out the job.

Here's what we're going through in the city. What's overshadowing our success is how people are feeling. because of random acts of violence. Yes. You have to go back to 2009 when you take out the two COVID years to see our subway system safer. We have over a billion riders, 4.5 million a day. We have an average of six felonies a day out of those 4.5 million a day.

We have been fighting with our state lawmakers as well as those advocates again that are trying to stop us from taking those with severe mental health illness off our streets. And we have been successful in doing that. 8,000 people died. with mental health illness, we were able to remove off our subway system and put them into what we call safe haven.
